                 Bye Bye Europe

Picture
A large group of men in Cologne, Germany attacked and sexually assaulted dozens of women on New Years eve. There were similar attacks in 5 other German cities.  Not to be outdone, Sweden "The Newly Crowned Rape Capital of the Civilized World" according to statistics, experienced the same phenomenon.

Who were these men?


Of the 30 plus individuals arrested in Cologne, all were Muslims, while more than half were recent refugees. Apparently, the other nine hundred plus men alleged to be involved in the attacks (also Arab and North African) got away.


After the attacks, Angela Merkel, Germany's Chancellor, responded by telling German women not to do anything that might cause these new Muslim refugees to think that they might wish to be sexually assaulted.


Let me be clear, I am not being factitious. Merkel did essentially the same thing that Attorney General Loretta Lynch did following the massacre in San Bernadino, which also involved two devotees of Islamic radicalism, she stated that her biggest fear was a backlash against Muslims. The sexual attacks perpetrated by a thousand men on innocent women, many of whom were Muslims, were, for her, a secondary consideration.


How about those other German cities that suffered similar attacks (let's not forget about Sweden?) Were these men Lithuanians? No. Were they Englishmen? No. How about Americans? No. It was men of Arab and North African descent.


Likewise, Sweden's new found fame as "The Rape Capital of the Civilized World" is also directly due to the same migration patterns.


Does this mean that all Muslims are bad? Of course not. The question, however, generally is used as a way of shifting the blame from the perpetrator to the victim, by implying that the person making the claim is probably motivated by racism. The same exact process is used in rape cases where the defense attempts to shift the blame from the rapist to the their victim, by claiming that the victim, somehow enticed the rapist to act. In other words, she really wanted it.


I guess saying that, however, makes me a racist. Why? Because, these weren't really Muslims, representing Islam, because Islam is a religion of peace. For having dared to suggest that it was Muslim who were responsible for these attacks, because "THEY WERE MUSLIMS," proves that I'm a racist. And, as if that weren't enough, a stand-in for all White males, who have White privilege. Thus, by the most tenuous of genetic connections, it means that all White males are racist.


​This is not a joke, but is exactly the kind of circular reasoning used daily in the media and in elite academic circles throughout the Western world. And, that has been the case for decades.

You see, in today's selectively politically correct world you can't smear a whole group of people like Muslims by pointing out that there were actual Muslims doing bad things, in very, very large numbers, no less. That's painting with the broad brush of bigotry--and, it can be, without some reasonable nuance. In the case of White males, however, implying that what one White man does, all White men do, is just the truth.
